World Cup Quarter Finals: Brazil vs. Colombia (July 4th)

[Andi Obst]

I hate that Colombian scrub for that foul, always sucks to see great players miss games like that.

Well, Silva can only blame himself.

Only four yellow cards and no red one, but 55 fouls (normally would be less than half of that number.

In average that means
-a foul every 98 seconds
-2 fouls per player on the pitch
-14 fouls until a yellow card was given

Lost in the ugliness of the match was very nice moment between Luiz and James:

David Luiz showing great class and making the moment not just about himself or his winning team but about all the players that make up the game. Pretty much the exact opposite of Richard Sherman at the end of the NFC Championship game when the reporter asked him about what his team accomplished and he used it as a time to promote himself and disrespect other players. Mad props to David Luiz
